About Pam Muir

I started Leverage for the sole purpose of supporting small businesses and the amazing people behind them. My experience (more on that below) led me to understand this: a small business is sparked by a vision; once the business begins, the administrative work often detracts from the ability to keep full focus on breathing new life into that original vision.

In other words: I belive these amazing people behind a small business need more time to focus on the big picture instead of being stuck “in the weeds.” This is where I come in: I’ll be in the weeds for you, so you can think bigger.

More about my background:

• My career truly began in the financial industry. I worked for two big banks in NYC where my responsibilities were heavy project management. This is where my organization, attention to detail, time management, analytical, and outside-the-box thinking skills really took root.

• I ran and later owned a small business in Fairfield, Connecticut. During this time, I developed a deep appreciation for the tenacity, dedication, and vision it takes to run a small business. If you run or own a small business you already know: it’s not for the timid! I get it.

• I’ve worked with individuals who had a skill they wanted to turn into a small business (think yoga teachers, artists, etc.). I helped them take this big idea and turn it into an achievable set of tasks. On an ongoing basis, I help them:

  • tackle new ideas

  • organize their thinking

  • brainstorm new ideas

  • implement new technology

  • manage their bookkeeping, prepare information for their certified public accountant, pay bills, etc.

• Some people find it odd, but I LOVE the detail of keeping books, putting reports together, and looking at the data! So much so that I sought out a Bookkeeping Certification. As a result, I am a member of the National Association of Certified Public Bookkeepers and a Certified Public Bookkeeper.
